Bricscad pirates

When looking for "Bricscad" on youtube and sorting by shipping date, did you notice the amount of crack offers available?
Bricsys cannot act to curb such illegalities?

    Indeed.

    I would never have expected that on Youtube.
    I see they create Facebook accounts also.

    When I search for Bricscad Videos I have never seen that.
    Or any crack offers in youtube 's recommended videos
    list for me. Which is good. As I expect Bricscad Videos to
    contain some Bricscad content.

    For fun I searched for cracked Blender versions - but could
    not find any on youtube.
    Ton seems to do a very well job on suing them and closing
    their accounts.

    Interesting.

    I picked such a crack offering URL for a WHOIS.
    I did the same for one of my SPAM email incomings URL.

    And each time such sites are hosted by
    https://www.namecheap.com/
    Which is an Icelandic Hoster, offering privacy. Basically a very good idea,
    but some people seam to be bad and just abusing this.

    For those who are interested or affected, it might be worth to use their
    abuse support :

    Doesn't make it better :)

    But these specific URLs were all registered in Reykjavik, Iceland.

    Is there no way for Bricsys to ask youtube to block?
    We searched for relevant information sorted by date and got ~15 illegal posts in the last two days!!

    But with most of its employees telecommuting from Ukraine, according to Wikipedia:
    "Namecheap at the same time said it had over 1,000 employees located in Ukraine, comprising most of its support staff, mostly in Kharkiv (which was a major location of fighting)."
